Fundamentals of Instruction (FOI)

During this three-day course each student will review all relevant information from the Aviation Instructors Handbook, take a pre assessment FOI test, a finial FOI practice exam, receive instruction on the CFI practical oral exam and practice oral questioning with the instructor and other students. This course includes 18+ hours of ground instruction.

At the completion of the course and passing the finial FOI practice exam with an eighty percent or higher, the student will receive a logbook endorsement from the instructor to take the FOI written exam. The student will also be prepared for the FOI oral portion of the CFI practical test. Each student will receive a FOI certificate of course completion.
